This is Jonahs prayer to the Lord and its pretty simple to be honest. Its telling the story about what happened and as he was thrown into the waters and the feelings he had. With this we know that Jonah at least still know God and felt him there with him. We know that Jonah did trust in God but it was just a "little late." He didn't full trust in the plan that he had. I wonder how long it took him to pray because it sounds like it was like day 3- that he finally prayed and then the whale spit him out.
We have the choice like Jonah to try to do things our way which ends up being painful and hard or look to God and his way and receive his blessing. Should be an easy decision but its not. But sometimes these paths we do take end up bringing us back or closer to God we just don't want to get to far onto our own and totally lose sight of God.
I know if it were me i would be wondering where I was at? And maybe thats why it took him some time to pray because I would be freaking out and wondering what really happened to me?
Do you think Jonah actually knew where he was? In the belly of a fish at the time?
